It’s quite possible this is all just for cap flexibility too.
With the taxi squad it actually makes a lot of sense just to carry a 20 man roster. And by waiving guys you have more flexibility on how that works.
Since cap space is calculated daily and accrues up this could be a way to create some deadline space for an add. You put your 13th forward and 7th dman on the taxi squad to have a lower daily hit and keep the cap space.
It’s a risk that they might get taken on waivers but lots of teams are going to be doing this, so doing it now likely lowers that risk.
